My lighting setup?

[beeker]

Hi, i currently have a 175w MH 14k iwaski with two 24w Aquablue+ T5's over a 20g H tank



I was wondering what bulbs would be better for SPS growth

I'm just unsure what bulbs to use in my T5 setup with the Iwaski 14k bulb

I have both actinic and aquablue+ bulbs, but i wasn't sure which one's would promote better growth/color with the Iwaski


any help is appreciated

thanks

Aquablue is a daylight bulb, good par.

Blue Plus is a blue bulb, good par.

Actinic is a blue bulb that can range from bad par to horrible par depending on brand.

Check out the spectrum of that iwaski, I suspect it has a good 420 boost but not as much at 450, in that case go blue plus as they are 100% 450nm. Perhaps a mix of actinic/blue plus would look nice.
